The Sultanate, represented by the National Museum, is celebrating this year the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the House of “Al-Amani” Museum, as the first Omani museum to deal with the cultural heritage in Zanzibar.
His Excellency Jamal bin Hassan Al Mousawi, Secretary General of the National Museum said in an interview with Oman News Agency (ONA): "The museum will inaugurate a corner bearing the name of the late Sultan Qaboos Bin Said bin Taimur, and a number of historical houses in Muscat will be rehabilitated to form an integrated cultural and tourism system."
Al Mousawi added: "The Sultanate’s cultural diplomacy contributed to the borrowing of the original manuscript of Ahmed bin Majid Al Saadi, from the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences which is more than 500 years old, and borrowing of the original manuscripts of Ahmed bin Majid Al Saadi from the Al Assad Library in Syria and the inauguration of a corner of the Sultanate in the ancient Winter Palace in Russia."
